I'm thinking of buying the $299 16GB version from amazon US. But adding up the shipping costs from comgateway etc will exceed $400 by a bit, then end up have to pay that $30 extra for GST. Anyone has any discount coupon to reduce the price a little so I can hopefully avoid paying GST? :D

Amazon USA free shipping to Singapore for purchase above US$125. Make sure you purchase from Amazon directly and not a third party seller listed on Amazon.

My TPU case and screen protector arrived from USA. Tested the SingTel Hi card 4G on the UK LTE in my area, pretty good at 40mbps plus.

I tried to checkout the 399 US LTE Black Friday promo, but it doesn't ship to Singapore.

The Shield controller does however.

This is so irritating. If use forwarder, the cost might end up close to the price of the Nvidia controller. :(

Just take note, when you buy the LTE one from amazon US, there is a statement

"Device can only be used with AT&T network"

Someone posted earlier that he couldn't get the LTE to work in SG and returned it to amazon.

So buy the UK LTE, then the controller from US with other stuff from Amazon US. :(

Or simply get the non LTE version at 299 and get the controller on a separate shipment. Hopefully won't incur GST then.

But then have to top up 70 with the controller to get fssg. Haiz. Like no sale price. Lol.

Looks like the only way to get direct shipping is to order from B&H. But shipping direct to Singapore alone costs USD67.40 for 3-5 UPS shipping.

So total would be USD$467.39, approximately $631 before GST. After GST would be about $675.

Ship via 3rd party fowarder would cost 30-50% lesser.
